At this time I'm inclined to regard this as a separate bug not directly related to the gdk menu bar problem. They appeared at the same time, but that was just because of the upgrade. Not sure how to prove that until I hear that Bug #1532226 has been closed and I see whether or not the problematic behavior persists.

Optimistically, this bug just reflects a fairly substantial reduction in free memory under 16.04.

Pessimistically, there's a memory leak that is most visible with long-running tasks such as BOINC units.

I've tweaked the BOINC memory settings on the optimistic assumption. Maybe that's enough?
